Christopher leaves in about 3 weeks, and I don't really know how to process that. He will be gone for a whole year or more. I know it is going to be hard on both of us

there's nothing that can prepare for this. and i mean that. i'm not tryin to be a dick. it's just the way it is. there's nothing he can do either. being stripped from family and friends and tossed into a place where you'll suffer from culture shock and the new realization that danger is literally anywhere you may step... it's somethin i can't even describe. i almost with i was still in so i would be going with him. maybe being a big brother in a place like that isn't what he really needs. i've already been there and done that. i would prolly end up being a hardass on him.
anywho... it takes a LOT of patience. and for fuck's sake, if problems arise back here, don't fuckin barrage him with it. he's gonna be 7,000 miles away from home. not a fuckin thing he can do about it anyway. Goin to a place like that would be 10x easier if you happen to be single. family can make it harder than necessary. keep that in mind.
i'm being brutally honest with it because life didn't show me any mercy when i went there.
And it makes no sense to expect him to fix things while he is over there. He already said a lot of guys wives do that stuff, but even before he said that, i didnt see the point in it.
Besides, I am going to be staying at my parents, so unless something major big happens, i see no reason to put undue stress on him.
I think that having family over there with him is going to be good for him. At least a lot of yall will be together over there to support each other.
